Hey, the weight is coming off slow but surely. 10#s so far. Not doing any programs. Did some before. We all know the ins and outs of losing. It's getting the mind set to do it. So my mind and set, and the body is moving slowly in the mode.

I think after a couple of more #s the weight will come off a bit easier. MAYBE!! Doesn't matter it's going not giving it a choice to stay this time. I am in charge of myself. I am in charge of myself.

I love eye candy too! So fat free and no calories! LOL Congrats to you ((((((IRISH))))))))) So far I went from 194 pounds to 186. I would like to hit the 180 although that is a plateau area for me. Then I want to break that plateau and go lower. One step at a time! My mind is set and ready! Just like you IRISH! GMTA huh?

My mini goal for now is reaching 173. Not sure if that is realistic but I am going for it.

Good Luck in your endeavors!

Have a great day!

I know with my 20 extra pounds the beta blocker I'm on trends to make you gain weight and its really hard to take back off.

I read lots about this esp for women over 50 - everything thing says eat less because we don't need all those calories as we did when 30.
Eat more veggies and fruits, more grains. Eat healthy. Well we eat all those things and still its hard to loose that 20lbs. I excerise also.

In the last month I decide just to eat what I eat but smaller portions to see if that helps. I've also cut out any extras...and just eat What I suppose to eat (basically no snacks, goodies, candies, etc LOL - boring)

I lost 3 pounds before my surgery - but that could of been just nerves, and another 5 pounds since.

I think every person is different on how the loose - just as diet is different or how we excerise also.

But the best we can do is say I want to loose weight, work on loosing weight and be supportive of ourselves when we are on that track.

So "You can do it ladies!" I applaude any of you who are trying to loose 1 pound or 100 pounds! Its hard work but you can do it!
